SRX Firewall System Maintenance

On Tuesday January 8th beginning at 6:30am, ITS Security and OIS Networking will be updating the firmware code for the Firewall appliances within School of Medicine. The work should complete in 1 hour with minimal disruption.

Juniper is advising customers to migrate to a later build of the firmware code. It would be a one-step upgrade, so each device would have to reboot once. Traffic would failover from one device to the other twice over the course of the upgrade but it should be minimally disruptive if noticed at all. I estimate we would need an hour.
